Other Worlds Austin’s next Orbiter screening is the Texas premiere of DAVE MADE A MAZE on Wednesday, July 19 at Flix Brewhouse.

In the film, Dave, an artist who has yet to complete anything significant in his career, builds a fort in his living room out of pure frustration, only to wind up trapped by the fantastical pitfalls, booby traps, and critters of his own creation.

OWA founder, Bears Fonte, has approved a rescue mission to help save Dave from his maze. But he said not all staff members can go on the mission—who will be left to run the festival? He has tasked Dan Repp, Senior Programmer and Event Director, with interviewing OWA staff to determine who goes into the maze. Next up, Tessa Morrison, Outreach Director.

The CRAFT

Dan Repp: Tessa, what are you doing here?

Tessa Morrison: Gordon invited me over. Said something about Dave being lost and having some sort of nervous breakdown? Where is Annie?

DR: Ummm…yeah. So Dave and Annie are in there. ::gestures towards cardboard fort in the middle of the living room:: This is odd… Are we stuck in the film… Reid warned this might happen. If we got too meta with our blog series.

TM: Oooo-kay. So Dave got lost….in a maze…of his own making? I assume Dave made it. This is pretty good, even for Dave. Wasn’t he supposed to get some shit done this weekend? Annie has been complaining that he was supposed to fix the door.

DR: You know how he gets distracted and starts working on various projects.

TM: Yeah, I can relate to that. ::assesses fort:: So, what are we just standing around for? Let’s go in and drag them out. They stuck? Can’t we just lift a corner and have them crawl out?

DR: Odd that you say that, because Bears has actually asked me to assemble part of our team to go in after them but it’s waaay too dangerous. I know it seems absurd, but I don’t think you’re cut out for this venture.

TM: Dan. Cut out? Seriously? This is my jams. I craft… I get it. Cardboard paper cuts hurt like the DICKENS. Especially in the webbing between your fingers...GAW. The worst. Fate worse than death.
